Profile
Born and raised in Gorinchem, somewhere in the middle of the Netherlands. At 16 joined the Navy and saw the world. In ’86 after 13 years of submarine service, I left the Navy to start a civil career. Ended up with HP as Logistics Manager until the end of 2007 when I became unemployed due to a worldwide reorganization.
At the end of May found a vacancy with PBM Express BV at Dordrecht for Logistics Manager. Interviews were very positive and on July 14 I will start my new job of which I'm very pleased.
Although I don’t have the skills or talent to play any instrument, music has always been a passion. This started with The Beatles in the early sixties.
When getting older, things do change. A new relation since 2004 with Coby and than getting introduced to different styles of Blues.
And did we find one to go with….
The clip above shows the Twelve Bar Blues Band (12BBB) where Patrick, Coby’s son, plays the bass guitar. This track is, to my opinion, one of their best. Although one of the oldies (1990), new recorded on their second album 'E-mail from Heaven'.
More blues can be found on the official site of the 12BBB (www.twelvebarbluesband.nl).
This next clip is totally different and has nothing to do with blues. It shows the performance of a Swiss band and is just amazing to see how they operate like clockwork.

Private
Scrolling down you will find pictures of my appartment in the city center where I live since August 1st, 2006. It shows living- and bedroom. We have rather high ceilings for which I had to accomodate furnishing. On the cube a picture of Coby and myself, taken in the summer of 2006, followed by some images related to the Blues. Last slideshow gives you a lot of images of the Dutch landscape made by Nijs Dekker, a biker who travels through the country, imaging the beauty of the Netherlands.
